Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of culinary fruits

After carefully reviewing the deletion guidelines, I don't believe that this page actually qualifies for deletion. I can't see how it meets any of the deletion criteria, except by really stretching things. This is an extremely useful page that is appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia. The only issue it *might* have is with citing sources, but how could you possibly expect anything so basic to cite sources? That task would be absurd and nearly impossible -- you might as well look for cited sources on a page that lists letters in the alphabet, or punctuation marks, or contains a list of the elements in the periodic table. Citing references for anything as fundamental and basic as this is superfluous, and therefore this category of thing is a special case.

And also -- please keep this page, because today I needed it!
